Prohibits school buses from traveling in left lane of roadway except for turning and emergencies.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A1365 prohibits school buses from driving in the left lane of any roadway with two or more lanes traveling in the same direction, except for three specific situations: preparing for a left turn (up to one mile), entering or exiting the roadway, or during emergencies like poor visibility, snow, accidents, or emergency vehicles. The bill directly affects school bus drivers and operators across New Jersey, amending the state’s vehicle code (R.S.39:4-88) to enforce this lane restriction. Violations would result in fines ranging from $100 to $300 plus a $50 surcharge. This policy change aims to improve highway safety by reducing lane changes for school buses in high-speed travel lanes.
